OHIO DEMOCRATS.
Preparing for the COnvemtiOn-Thc
FOran Boom lncrcasing-GOssips of
Those Now On the Ground.

Special Dispatch TO THE EVENING STAR
CLEVELAND OHIO, July 20.-The city is filling up
very rapidly, and each arriving train brings addl-
tional delegates to the Democratic State Conven-
tiOn, which will commence its sessions tonight.
1t is not expected however, that there VIII be any
attempt at organization until Tomorrow. II is
useless now to make any prediction IA TO who viii
be the nominee for governor. Congressman
Powell, up TO yesterday, thought he held the con-
vention In his hand, but since the Foran boom
started it has developed such strength as TO
seriously alarm Mr.. Powell and his supporters,
although they will not admit il. The objection Is
made against Campbell that he is not hearty H.
his support OF President Cleveland aud as a reso-
luton 1ndOrsing the Administration Will he
one of the first things adopted by the con-
vention, 1T is urged that il would not do
to nominate a man who was not fully
In accord with the Presidents policy
Still Campbell appears to stand second in the list
and Will probably go into the convention with
more votes than FOran. The latter VIII gain after
the first ballot for this city Is his stronghold but
whether he will have enough TO overcome Mr..
Powell Is problematcal Congressman Beria 4
wilkins, who came here unpledged, has come out
for Foran and says that others Will do the same
Powell keeps up bold 'front.' and claims TO be GER
tain OF securing the nomination 81 am assured, ~
he said, that shall have at least 400 votes the
first ballot, which will be more than enough TO
give me the nomination." Others claim that Pow
es strength is not less than 40 votes out OF the
$50.
When asked to give his views as to what the
platform should say Mr. Powell replied: at should
tndOrSe the Administration In the strongest and
most unqualified way. IL should criticise the For
aker administration, the revolutionary measures
OF the Ohio State legislature, and its eytraordi-
nary and excessive appropriations IL should con-
demn ForakerS use OF the patronage oil his Office
for political aggTandizement, and his proposition
to lay excessive taxes 1t should also declare IN
favor OF revision OF the tariff in accordance with
the democratic national platform OF 1884, advise
the repeal OF the lOca-opt1On features of the Dow
LIQUOR la and a system of graded licenses present
the democratic party as friend OF the laboring
man and his cause, and as the party that has
always been ready TO hear and regard his griey-
anceS"
There is some talk OF nominating Judge Thur
man by acclamatiOn, notwithstanding he has de-
cl1ned to be a candidate and thus Insisting upon
his acceptance Those who favor this course are
enthusiastic, and say IL is the only way I'm which
the party can win, but the number who advocate
putting up Thurman In the face OF his positive
fuSa to allow his name TO be used Is not large, and
probably no Sucn attempt Will be made.

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, July 20.-The complete surrender OF
Lord Salisbury to the unonists on the land bill is
most significant illustration OF the hand-to-
mouth existence OF the government. i few hours
ago 1t was serious question whether salisbury
would not stick his back against the wall and
defy the unicnfsts to do their worst That
would have involved defeat and probable dissolu-
uon and the prime minister has taken the wiser
course. He has swallowed his principles and
saved his party for the moment at the expense OF
their future. 1t is perfectly certain that IL this
kind OF things goes Indefinitely the tories as
party, must lose ground In the country much more
rapidly than they are doing. Country tories are
getting tired OF this state or things which means
an incesSant submission. This moral of the eles-
uonS is still unfavorable to the government.
They have one gain in Horpsey, a division oi
Mlddiesex, where their majority Is Increased
but everywhere else that majority is steadily
diminishing. Ii IS not likely that they will ac

mons them to-day to settle the National League
at once by proclamation and have It ali out
before parliament rises. This course would n,
welcome enough TO the opposition, for IL would
hasten the progress of events by rendering al
administration I'm Ireland impossible. TIL,
coercion act Will be administered only With Nod
crate Vlgor. lmmoderate haste means suicide.

The Leaky Dirt Carts.

COMMISSIONERS WHEATLEY SAYS THE NUISANCE WILL
BE STOPPED WHEN TIE NEW POLICE REGULATIONS
Go INTO EFFECT.
'THE STARS editorial last night In regard to the
dropping OF dirt from improperly constructed
carts is likely to give the public wrong impress
sion OF the facts, and unjustly reflects upon the
Commissioners" /" said Commissioner Wheatley TO
a STAR reporter to-day.
''The fact is that we have never had an adequate
law under which we could prosecute such careless
ness but by referring to the first section OF article
OF the new police regulations you Will see that we
have had in mind the StOppage OF this nuisance,
and after July 81 you may be sure that all viola
tiOnS Of that ordinance Will be promptly pun
1Shed. Some time ago there was considerable COM
plaint made by residents OF South Washington
that the carts employed by Contractor Lyons in
hauling dirt TO I'LL In BabcOck Lake. leIt trail OF
dirt several inches thick upon the streets in that
section, and the Commissioners drove down and
found that the complaints were founded upon
fact. They demonstrated with the contractor, and
when they found that he did not keep his promise
to prevent any further dropping, Col. Moore was
instructed to arrest the driver OF cart and make
test case. He did SO, and took the driver before
Judge Snell who dismissed the case Their promises
are worthless and they have continued to drop
dirt on the streets. We cannot regulate the
kind OF cart to be used in hauling,
but we can, under the new regulations, stop
them from dropping the dirt, and We Will do tt
after the :e7th instant. Each policeman has been
furnished copy OF the regulations and instructed
when the proper time arrives to arrest all ViolatorS
OF its provisions and bring them TO punishment" "
